The early history of the district is obscure and there is no clear evidence about the Paleolithic age. The burials in the High ranges date back to the Megalithic period. Some historians believe that Kuzhumur, the capital during the Sangam age is the present Kumily in Peermade taluk. During 800 -1102 A.D, the High ranges consisting of present Devikulam , Udumbanchola and Peermade taluks were part of the Kingdom of Vembolinad. During the 16th Century Major portions of Idukki district came under the rule of Poonjar Raja.
The Idukki district forms a small part of the state of Kerala. In the year 1972, the district was formed out of Devikulam, Peerumedu and Udumbanchola taluks from Kottayam district and Thodupuzha taluk from Eranakulam district. For purposes of developmental activities it is divided into eight blocks: Arudai, Devikulam, Elamdesom, Idukki, Kattappana, Adimali, Nedumkandom and Thodupuzha. Kottayam and Pathanamthitta districts bound the district on the south, Thrissur and Coimbatore districts on the north, Madurai, Ramanad and Thirunelveli districts on the east and Eranakulam and Kottayam districts on the west. As you move on your travel to Idukki you will get to know more about the rich history & culture of the district.
The district had played a significant role in the spiritual development of the country, especially the south, though it does not boast of a history of the rise and fall of dynasties. The Ramayana gives a graphic description of the flora of the Pamba Valley in Idukki, with high ranges of altitude varying from 2500 feet to over 5000 feet above sea level.
